I came across this fellow on the internet, an artist of some sort. I don’t think he’s a libertarian but he draws a lot of comics and leaves them up on Reddit. Its one of those times where I question how many people exactly read this site, and then hock ideas.
This is my review of Bells Kalamazoo Stout
The Redditor in question is GPrime85 (aka George Alexopolous). I don’t have a whole lot to say about this, but I think I would be remiss if I didn’t share these:
Dark? Well, not anymore.
Finally, here is why I think we have a lurker…
Sugarfree inspires artists of all kinds…
Yes, we get Bell’s out here now. So if you are so inclined you can move here from Michigan and bring the rest of your craziness with you. This one contains anise; it says so on the bottle but for some reason I couldn’t find it anywhere. Which probably suits most people because anise is what makes black licorice taste like black licorice. Some people like it, most people don’t. Its a solid as far as stouts go. Bells Kalamazoo Stout: 4/5.
Edit: This does not contain anise but “Brewer’s Licorice”. An ingredient that has a similar flavor profile but is much more predictable in creating a consistent product. H/T: DEG.
you should keep tomatoes in the freezer
You should keep camera film in the refrigerator
That takes me back.

Freezer’s are very useful!
Finally, here is why I think we have a lurker… – that’s a stretch
Bells Rocks, we have it everywhere, cool comics
If you don’t like anise, your licorice ain’t black!
Wow.
I LOL’d
And if you like ‘A Niece’, you may be Hunter Biden.
That’s President Elect’s Son Hunter Biden, thank you

At least this time they didn’t incorporate that bloody “O” with rainbows shooting out of it..:or resting on fields of crops…or an exploding EMP. I could never tell what Obama’s new wave logo was about.
The More You Know?
It was about a cult of personality.
I like anise fine – for baiting muskrat traps. Otherwise, yecchh.
We have some cross-over, LT Fish shared all these when they cam out. But none of them credit me nor SF, so I demand a recount!
The guy was on Tim Pool’s podcast earlier this week…he says he does Reddit only. He didn’t really get into his personal philosophy while I tuned in, but he does seem to know his audience.
His comics (including SF and horror) and indiegogo campaigns are all great – definitely worth buying/backing IMO. I’m waiting for his 3rd “Shitposts” book as well as the “Creepy Joe” Halloween special.
Not doing the reddit thing I only see his work on twitter normally.
Those are pretty awesome.
Stout? Yes please.

It has anise in it? I didn’t know that. Usually I hate anise but I like Kalamazoo Stout. Huh.
The cartoons are interesting.
I am mistaken, it is brewer’s licorice, NOT, anise. Thank you for calling me out.
Huh.
Stouts are disgusting.
If you disagree you are objectively wrong.
(am I playing by the new rules of debate correctly?)
You didn’t accuse anyone of being a Nazi, so you are, in fact, the Nazi.
Dark. Unfiltered or gtfo.
NAZIs drink Pilsners.
They drink blondes.

It’s a fair cop.
Who’s got my armband?
I’m glad somebody said it. Yuck.
I never liked any manner of stout. Then I had a Guinness in a Dublin pub.
Whole ‘nother thing. I’d have me a Guinness on the old sod anytime. The import version, here? Thanks, no.
I found this to be true when I had a pint at a non tourist pub in London.
There’s several different version of Guinness. There’s the standard nitro version, the CO2 carbonated one (Extra Stout), the Foreign Export stout (yellow label, higher ABV), the canned nitro version with a widget, and the bottle nitro version with the “rocket widget” (which I’m not sure is still around). The two keys to good beer is freshness and cleaning the lines.
Stouts are the best, particularly Guinness. If you disagree you are a communist.
Stouts are better if they’re being poured for you by a cute girl with a large bosom.
Everything’s better with a big bosomed beauty.
Seconded.
“…big bosomed” lady with a Dutch accent?
You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul

President-elect Joe Biden marked Transgender Day of Remembrance on Friday, promising to fight for the trans community as it faces growing violence.
“On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor their lives — and recommit to the work that remains to ensure that every transgender and gender-nonconforming person in America has the opportunity to live authentically, earn a living wage, and be treated with dignity and respect in their communities and workplaces,” Biden said in a statement.
At least 37 transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals have been killed in the U.S. this year. The Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy organization, announced in October that 2020 marked the deadliest year for the community since it began recording the fatalities in 2013.
Hr was swept to power by the militant queer vote. He owes them.
Since 2013?! Don’t they mean 2016? Say… November?
I mean, if you’re going manipulate questionable stats for political purposes, might as well go all the way.
I was on a long drive for a business trip on Wednesday and the radio station i was listening to used NBC national radio news for their top of the hour. The anchor opened with knob-slobbering about the wonderful Biden thanking “front-line healthcare workers” for all they’ve been doing during the pandemic, and cut to a quick audio, which consisted entirely of Biden saying “we owe much thanks to SEIU for their brave dedication”.
I screamed at the radio and almost swerved off the road. Really? There’s millions of healthcare workers nationwide, but the ones who deserve the most thanks are those in the evil national hospital employees union, who had no problem calling strikes and making unreasonable demands during covid surges, putting many hospitals on the brink of bankruptcy, while preventing access to care for countless suffering patients?
But of course, SEIU did ensure paid time off for their minions around the country to get the vote out and intimidate for pre-Harris, so they are the true heroes of 2020.
It’s going to be a long four years. The graft and favoritism for Dem-approved groups like this will be monumental, while the media will completely ignore it, so they’ll just get bolder. Your rights, income and property will be at risk, and diverted to the preferred, and you are just a hater if you don’t like it, Facebook confirms it as fact.
SEIU steals a hundred bucks a month from me. During the primaries, they had a ” day of action” they had everyone at work take four hours of vacation time to go march through the terminals. I lucked out and was denied my VC time, so I stayed behind and worked. It turned out, they were just used for astro turf for a Kamala speech. I teased the fuck out of them. Ya’ll just donated 300 bucks of VC so you could wear a purple shirt in the background while Kamala’s on TV. If they’d have worded it like that, would you have agreed?
This is my first union and it sucks way worse than I imagined they would. They only lift fingers when they might weasel more union members out of a deal. Taking care of existing members? Nope. I handle all of my own problems. I’ve had a bunch of issues since my last transfer. I brought them to the U rep and they just try to talk me out of pursuing them. SO I file my own papers and win. Fuck them.
Janus?
HAHA, LOL. That’s purely theoretical. In reality, the union makes up rules that prevent invoking it. Effectively I might add. We have a small list of people who have been trying to do that, ever since the ruling. They’re still paying lawyers. Best you can get is converted to agency fee and not get any benefits ( as if the rest of us do) they still get your money.
Interesting to know. Sorry to hear that.
“Transgender rights are human rights,” Biden said. “To transgender and gender-nonconforming people across America and around the world: from the moment I am sworn in as president of the United States, know that my administration will see you, listen to you, and fight for not only your safety but also the dignity and justice you have been denied.”
Dammit! No more randomly setting trannys on fire after January 20? What will I do for fun?
You’ll just have to burn faggots.
What you did there. It was seen.
Metallurgy question.
I have a high carbon steel letter opener ( The one I put a handle on Here ) that developed a few tiny spots of rust.
I scrubbed the surface rust off. At this point, there is no difference in texture, but still dark spots where the rust had been. These are dark gray instead of rust brown.
Do I need to continue until the discoloration is gone, or is it no worse than the neighboring steel in terms of continued corrosion risk?
Once it starts it seems to repeat in the old oxidized places. Try some naval jelly.
I did the ol trick of dunking the rust-spotted accessory feet for my Singer sewing machine into a glass of Diet Coke for a day.
The rust spots will turn dark but the main thing is that the rusting process stops and it prevents the rest of the part getting damaged.
I don’t know if it’s the phosphoric acid or what. It’s one of those “old wives” tales.
Diet Coke works better than Coke?
You will probably have to repolish the entire thing to remove the discoloration completely.
The pitting will “trap” condensation that will cause further corrosion, but the staining won’t cause any corrosion in itself. Scotch brite is good for cleaning out light pitting and dings. Clean it all out, give it a light polish and maybe hone the cutting edge while you’re at it, then make sure it’s warm and dry (no condensation in the “pores”, and apply a light tool and instrument oil, or at least something fairly loose, like 10 weight, wipe off any excess, and enjoy opening letters. That’s just my three cents. There’s no exact one way to do things, but that’s just going on what works for me.
“Light tool and instrument oil” is easily found at sewing supply stores for sewing machines.
What’s the difference in composition with gun oil?
Good question. Some gun oils have anti-corrosion additives of some sort but I suppose it depends on the brand.
Good call, ‘splosives.

Kamalazoo Stout? I suppose her hips are reasonably structured.
I want to believe.
I think Tim Pool has some art like that. I have seen the Joe Biden monster one on his streams.
He had the artist on his show 2 nights ago.
Why do we say “yesterday morning” but “last night”? Or “yesterday afternoon” but “last week/month”?
My kids have started saying things like “I was talking to my friend yesterday night” and it’s really jarring, but grammatically consistent!
In Germany they say “yesterday night”… well, in German.
For my fellow low carbers, found these wraps at Trader Joe’s today:

Looks promising. I’m thinking some smoked turkey and Yai’s Thai sauce would work well. Maybe some greens. Maybe.
I will point them out to my low carb hub. Thanks!
*sigh*
The Trader Joe’s near my spin studio has had lines ~20 people deep every time I go by now. I like quite a bit of their stuff, but I’m not waiting in a fucking line to get into a grocery store.
They’re not a Trader Joe’s exclusive. Both Meijer and Kroger (claim to) carry them here in Mid Michigan.

Wife and I each did the same. Damn that boating accident.
Mine went to a 10mm.
Property taxes so from the Fed to the county. At least it didn’t cost anyone anything, just digits, seems to be no shortage.
Mine went to his and her body armor
I had the ‘privilege’ of paying for 35 of those checks.
I am starting to think Barnes might be right about the competence of his counsel.
Who the heck gives such an interview while being charged with murder in a politically motivated case?
It’s a reprieve from winter here in Hidden Meadows (CA). Right now it’s 72 and sunny. Sipping coffee outdoors even now. Ahhhh…
By this evening it will be 50 degrees. Which would be no problem but I’m attending a stand up comedy act tonight and of course it has to be held outdoors. Sitting still for over an hour in 50 degrees will get to me.
And for what? This covid shit is LAME.
Aren’t thou from Minnesoda, lass?
But yes, agreed. (Maybe they’ll have patio heaters?)
Speaking of alcohol: I’m just going to leave this here.
I watched the South Park Pandemic Special last night.
MIT had the usual enjoyable features of South Park. But then at the very end they stuck on a bit that showed their Trump Derangement Syndrome is still alive and well.
Their “Orangeman” substitute (Mr Garrison) President showed up at the very end to destroy the one creature that can lead to a Covid vaccine and cure. They explain that it’s in the president’s interests to have the pandemic continue, and then the Orangeman looks in the camera and reminds the viewer that an important election coming up.
So Trey and Matt are still suffering TDS. I has a disappoint.
Thank you for watching it so I don’t have to.
Yeah, that ending was so off the mark.
I know. It was clearly so opposite of the truth that it wasn’t even funny if you suspend your disbelief.
Trump’s incumbency and upcoming election is the ONLY reason that the Dems made the COVID into a boogeyman they could use to get people scared and wanting mommy and daddy government to save them and restore normalcy.
If O had been in office, they’d have treated COVID about like SARS or Zika or H1N1. And the Trump economy would still be thriving.
They had to make sure that the answer to every voters individual question “Am I better off now than I was 4 years ago?” To be NO! If not for COVID bans and job losses, for most people the answer would have been a clear and resounding YES.
Had the Wuh flu. West Nile was way worse.
West Nile had a lasting effect on the Corvid populations in the United States. Enough that the lack of crows was noticeable and road kill stayed on the asphalt due to so few crows.
Mallard ducks were cut to about a third of their normal population.
That to me is a crazily underreported aspect of West Nile.
Still too many crows. Noisy assholes. I don’t remember seeing them in cities before about 25 years ago. At least they don’t bother pets IME.
I love crows. They and the other birds are almost like coworkers I like. They chatter all day, but I don’t mind.
Wow. I haven’t heard of that either.
Whaaa? How exactly would it be in Orangey’s interest for the panic to continue? The man who said outright that voting Dem is voting for cancelling the holidays.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077745/mediaviewer/rm1070213376
Hence the disappointment in Matt and Trey of SouthPark. Once upon a time, I thought they could see right through propaganda whether peddled as news or as government pronouncements.
Now they are in the tank for the lefties.
‘Member when South Park was equally derisive to left and right? I ‘member.
TDS is incurable. It’s absolutely mind boggling to see so many acquaintances of mine who are generally logical and thoughtful losing all reason whenever Trump is brought into the discussion.
Ditto. Family and friends.
I was listening to a woman on TV talking about how happy she is that Trump lost (nobody really wanted Biden to win as much as for Trump to lose), and she wanted to expand on that point and found herself floundering “At last we won’t have…um…Muslim bans! And kids in cages at the border! And a racist president!”
That’s all they got. Talking points. The fact that their paychecks got bigger under Trump and unfair regulations got repealed and peace treaties were signed and no new wars were entered does not even cross their minds.
I don’t get it either. Obnoxious, / tiresome, sure: I’ve employed the mute button on several presidents. Evil…? Does not compute.
Kids in cages.
That’s just stupid.
I’m about to listen to the most recent Soho Forum debate on the Electoral College, with Richard Epstein and Laurence Lessig, with the foreknowledge that Lessig, arguing for its abolition, “won” somehow.
Who actually attends and votes on these things?
Link?
I dunno, apparently free admission + free drink if you mention Tom Woods or Michael Malice or summat?

(TW: TOS)
Ta.
Remember the Free Beer! sign from One Froggy Evening? (see 4:20) https://vimeo.com/21117324
I always ask my prog friends who argue for the abolition of the Electoral College, that if it was the other way around and the Conservatives had large populations in the major cities and the Liberals where in the “flyover states” would they still advocate for it’s abolition?
Never quite had a straight answer. The response I generally get is, “Well if that was the case, then the Conservatives would be against the electoral college.”
So ends justify the means. Ok, got it, my liberal “friend.”
I was considering the contrapositive (?) earlier, that the states that supply food and fuel should have more say.
That would make an interesting debate – with tech heavy cities controlling the debate via their products – like google, facebook and Twitter, what if the flyover states decided to take their business to the debate by withholding food? That would definitely be quite the development. Or withholding refined petroleum products. How long does New York survive if nobody will ship them food or gas and oil?
That would put an end to all of this “they are just private companies” nonsense, really quick.
Interesting. Most of the SF debates I’ve listed to, the (generally) libertarian position won (Oxford rules).
A balmy 41 degrees today with no wind and bright Sunshine, nice enough to play some disc between chores and moving couches.

Going back to the morning thread, Q posted about lowering expectations and emotional intelligence.
I’m struggling with whether to comply with the local mask mandate. I know that there’s scant evidence that they’re effective, and of course I oppose being forced to do something by the government. I’m open to being convinced that it’s a good idea if solid evidence is presented.
But the whole thing makes me angry. I’m angry about having to have an interaction with a store employee or security goon at nearly every place I go into. As it is, I’m avoiding going most places, and it’s having an effect on my mental health.
Should I just give in to the social pressure and wear a mask? Would I be happier? Would that be an indicator of emotional intelligence?
What are your thoughts?
Me, personally.
Generally, I’m a “fuck you” rule-breaker and I have been going into places without a mask and no one’s looked twice at me.
However, I’ve got a lot on my emotional plate, and I have no energy to spare to argue about a mask, especially if I am the only one there who would otherwise argue about it. I am resentful that digging into my purse for it is mostly a habit. Why? How? How did we let this happen?
Because people who are surviving and have no emotional energy to fight, don’t fight. And I’m not going to be the first to start. I’ve got bigger problems to tend.
I had to make that choice early on in order to keep my job and paycheck. I sold out and wear the mask at work.
However, I wear comfy, breathable ones, and only when I have to.
I am going to order some of these in preparation for a Biden/Harridan presidency.
https://www.navygear.com/collections/face-masks/products/dont-tread-on-me-face-mask-gold
I have one of those! Well, not gold coloured, but Gadsden Flag-themed. Not many people up here know what that is, though. Prolly means I’m just a racist Trumper.
In anticipation of a Biden mask mandate we ordered this.
Nice. Can’t wear it at work due to the slogan though.
I’ll bet you could right now.
I thought about getting one of those, but wearing the mask is being tread upon, so to me it seems hypocritical.
“Don’t tread on me, but, well, okay, go ahead.”
I’ve been thinking about getting a yellow one with a star of David.
The Star of David might be enough to get people thinking of compulsory wearing of patches of clothing.
I am a bit troubled by “Dont Tread on Me” being on a face I am compelled to wear.
Maybe I will custom embroider one with a more appropriate message…
Fuck off, slaver?
Pithy. I like it.
Easier to embroider than “I am a freeborn American.”
Or
“WARNING: This mouth emits speech that is known to the state of California to spread dangerous ideas of individual liberty”

Scroll down to the “Safety Third” masks.
Lol. I like Safety Third and “I’m smiling under this thing.”
That’s so perfect. Providing a false sense of security is all the masks do.
+1 red triangle
being trod* upon
I was debating a Jude ⭐️ despite not being Chosen.
Yeah, I saw those patches, and I, too, am not (((Chosen))). But I’m still seriously debating doing it. Plain yellow mask. Plain black star of David.
I think I would want a nude/flesh colored mask with mustard yellow star.
I get wearing one at work: boss’s house, boss’s rules. An employer-employee relationship is a continuing mutual arrangement, and you do it as long as the terms are acceptable to both parties. But I bristle at being forced to under penalty of fine (or worse), and that the government is making businesses enforce their rules.
Can we make Kamala wear one that says “Cock Holster” on it?
I mean, we all know the story.
**chortle**
Just the one story?
(I know of the general gossip; are there specific stories? do I want to know anyway?)
Unsavory Agents has a Kamala Harris Jizz face mask. I can’t find it now.
Last night we went to the airport to pick up our son coming home from college. At the baggage claim carousel everyone was dutifully standing on little circles precisely arranged six feet apart while waiting for luggage. Then, a woman came over and asked my son to pull his mask up, it had slipped off his nose a bit, he politely complied. I thought she was an airport employee, but then saw she was just another passenger; afterwards she went and stood a good fifty feet away to wait for her bags.
When I realized this my blood started to boil. I wanted to march up and slap her and tell her to mind her own fucking business, what difference does it make about his mask when you’re fifty feet away? Who are you,, the NGO volunteer patrol? And there were other people with masks fully down in the area, but they had the magic charm of sipping from a water bottle at the time,
so I guess they were protected from her wrath.
I just let the moment pass, especially with my wife and son there, but I wonder what would happen if we stood up more often to assholes like this. As others have been saying recently, it is getting a lot easier to understand how Germany in the 1930s developed with such compliance.
“Sooooo kind of you to take an interest.”
Learn it; know it; live it.
My wife would have handed her own ass to her and spared me the trouble.
Then, a woman came over and asked my son to pull his mask up, it had slipped off his nose a bit,
That right there is my line. I have predetermined that I will let my anger win out in that situation and will make somebody cry if they dare do that shit to me or mine. Thankfully, nobody has.
I’ll wear your stupid fucking masks. I’ll stay 6 feet away from you. But if you invade my personal space to harass me about how I’m wearing my mask, I’ll rip the damned thing off and scream obscenities at you.
Anyone else noticed that most people are now wearing the washable cloth masks that everyone knows don’t work instead of the disposables that they tell us work anymore? Talk about “why are we doing this”.
Why?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukr3Y3unFhg
I don’t comply as often as I can.
There are a few places I bend for. I expect with the Clown Prince’s latest edict I’ll have to bend more often, but I will keep fighting the fight.
I’m struggling with whether to comply with the local mask mandate.
I do not comply with unconstitutional edicts of the government.
If you state allows open carry, you might consider slinging a rifle.
Sure, its not going to help with people staring, kids pointing, taking photos and posting them on the internet, but they will probably leave you alone,
Also, I’m not sayin that there’s a conspiracy or anything, but my phone is autocorrecting, like, every third word to “Soros”.

Thank you.
Just found out that my wife’s grandfather passed away today. He was someone I really wish I could have talked to more, but by the time I met him he had already suffered multiple strokes and was showing the early signs of Alzheimers. He was a Sudentenland German, and was conscripted into the German army in WWII. He started out on the western front, but was transferred over to the eastern front at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa. He was captured by the Russians not long after, and spent the next 3.5 years in a Russian POW camp. At the end of the war the Russians basically opened up the gates and told the prisoners to go home. My wife’s grandfather then spent the next year walking back to Germany from the camp he was in just outside of Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
I really thought that her grandfather would be sitting on a park bench, sharing a Twinkie with the cockroaches during the heat death of the universe, but 2020 did what vengeful communists, alcoholism, and multiple health issues couldn’t. RIP Alfred Nitsche.
I’m sorry to hear that. May his memory be a blessing.
Condolences. Sounds like he saw a lot in his time.
Sorry.
Quite a loss. I’m sorry.
My condolences.
OT – HD ruins beloved childhood memories! I’m watching a 4K remuxed print of Star Wars. It’s gorgeous. It’s stunning. It really shows the improvisation and make do that I love about theater. In 4K, the stormtroopers’ gauntlets are CLEARLY made of sheet Styrofoam.
Started Thanksgiving early. Ordered food, beer, wine, more food, wife and I cooking. She’s making pork ribs again. Tomorrow we’re going to drink and order more food. I won’t be losing weight this week.
I see a lot of defiance in the comments here. I feel deflated. What is the point? My country apparently elected, or allowed to be elected, a person who smiled and promised to grind us under the boot. Hell they even cheered it on. They have no idea what they have done.
It’s 2020 and we’re talking about Trump, here. I can’t seem to reach the point of resignation just yet. Sidney Powell seems like a serious person and she’s certainly asserting some serious things. I’m going to give it awhile before i surrender to the 40 million people who voted for the new and improved, extra evil party. There’s too much smoke to not be a fire somewhere.
Guliani will fuck up whatever she could have achieved and who’s going to prosecute them if they are caught red handed cheating? Barr? LOL.
Did you ever think we’d have a republican president who would call out the media for lying? Did you ever imagine Mitch and Lindsey standing up for much of anything? These are not normal times. We should allow for the possibility of abnormal outcomes, is all I’m saying
No, I never imagined that until right before the election of 2016 when I told a lot of people I know that Trump could win. It’s like no one saw it coming. I did, because I looked at it like a season of football. Trump was like a juggernaut but everyone had their heads up their own asses and didn’t see it. And I did NOT expect Trump would actually do any of the things he has done to defend Americans against the swamp.
But Trump had 4 fucking years to know this was coming, and instead he surrounds himself with Sessions and then Barr as AG. Amateur hour mistake, but where are we getting another Trump to take on the swamp? I don’t see anyone and even if we did and could get that person elected again, we would have to seriously implement alternatives to the media and public education. Otherwise, it just gets worse from here on.
I would be amazed if he had a choice in selecting Barr or Sessions.
If Sidney Powell is our salvation, why wasn’t she AG in 2016?
Look, everyone makes mistakes, but this shit you could see coming a mile away. I can still remember the fucking tirade I threw when Trump selected that fucking garden gnome drug warrior Sessions for AG. I was furious at Trump for months after that until he finally started doing some shit right. Then he picks Barr and I’m like ‘OK, yeah we’re fucked’.
Probably not. Whatever he is, he still has to play party politics.
Powell is outside of the government. She is a private lawyer hired by Trump.
Graham stated outright in the ACB confirmation that his views of his colleagues and the process changed with the Kavanaugh hearings. He has since, relatively speaking, grown a bit of a backbone, albeit still being a bit of a squish.
Really…who is dumb or deluded enough to think a guy that cant put a sentence together, had no campaign at all, a 47 year record of nothing outside holding an office, got caught red-handed selling his country out to the Chinese, will likely get us into more war and promised to seize guns, raise taxes dramatically, destroy institutions designed to protect us from government over reach, destroy the health care system, have a nationwide lockdown, a nationwide mask order…..geez, I could go on all day. Who is dumb enough to think he actually got elected on the up and up? I mean, we have video of him saying he has the greatest voter fraud organization in history and of him telling voters he doesnt need their vote.
How far gone does one have to be to think he actually got elected?
Well, a few things. More than 50% of Americans are literally retarded. And if we’re talking under 30 years of age, it’s probably more like 80%.
And you can’t educate those people, because even if you tried, that would make you racist, even though most of the retards are white.
Idiocracy was a self fulfilling prophecy.
Look, the legal team doesn’t care if we know what happened, just yet. They need to get the SC to hear it and convince them. They are giving us tidbits. There’s way, way more. It will be known and fairly soon. There’s a decent degree of animus against Biden and Harris among Justices already. There’s a greater than none chance this changes direction drastically. If it were back in the normal sized window of the early oughts and before, I’d be inclined to agree, we’re screwed, but this is outside what we have have heretofore. Anything is possible.
The supremes don’t have much of a role here… at least not yet.
They don’t have the power to deny electors. Those are chosen by the states. The incoming house of representatives can object to electors. They then vote on a by-state basis, which should give Trump the advantage.
But there is no way we are going down that road.
There’s so many roads I never thought we’d be going down, and yet, here we are. I don’t discount any possibilities at this point.
Who is dumb enough to think he actually got elected on the up and up?
Apparently I am, because that guy, with ALL of that baggage, had one advantage – he was not Donald Trump.
The English at the end of WWI held an election to replace the national (all party) govt led by David Lloyd-George. I believe it was Churchill who described it as a contest to decide who was the the least like DL-G. As I recall, the English elected their very first Labor govt. That tells you how powerful the attraction of not being one particular person can be. The Liberals of DL-G (and at that time, Churchill) ceased to be a meaningful party. Churchill would win a seat as an independent (before rejoining the Conservatives).
Joseph Biden did not earn 10 million more votes than Barry or Herself. There is no scenario in which that happens without fraud.
This is very true.
I can’t believe tens of millions of people voted for the first time this year because heretofore voting absentee was such an arduous process but miraculously, thanks to COVID, they found vote by mail worth doing.
Sidney Powell seems like a serious person and she’s certainly asserting some serious things.
I am not resigned to any particular conclusion to this episode of American history either. She and others have asserted some extraordinary and plausible things. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. So what I am resigned to is watching events play out, as I am a spectator and not an actor that could affect the event.
they will, oh yes, they will,
Probably not. At least not until it’s far too late.
von Mises write the Anti-Capitalist Mentality decades ago. It’s still applicable. When there is no social mobility, you cannot be held responsible for your lot in life.
The only explanation that makes any sense is millions of people voted not for Biden but against Trump. Another symptom of TDS.
Certainly some (see some WSJ commenters), but how to quantify?
The sudden pause in voting in most all the swing states in the middle of the night when Trump was leading in all of them, makes me believe that there was indeed massive election fraud.
If I’m wrong the explanation is what you just said along with all the mail in ballots, allowing lazy people, illegal immigrants, and minors to vote unchecked. And how do I know that illegal immigrants and minors can actually vote? I voted in MD and the poll workers admitted to me that it’s possible.
Seems that a lot of 3rd world shitholes begin with election fraud. Venezuela for example.
I’ve been warning the Brazilians to look at what happened here and to head this off before their next elections, otherwise they’ll get a return of Lula and Dilma robbing the country blind of what’s left they haven’t already stolen.
Yeah, I’m not ruling out massive fraud either.
Whether they did or didn’t, they really, really went out of their way to make it look like they did.
That don’t fly with me. Trump gave us the greatest economy in many decades, he worked to end the lockdowns, he succeeded at everything he got involved in. He is a winner. He clearly should have won this. It’s only because they instituted California style election rigging nation wide. The bogus virus scare is the excuse. Amazing that a tiny virus, which exempts 99.9% of the people from serious harm, has given so many benefits to so many democrats. They just keep reaping benefits, one after the other.
I should have added “assuming the results are accurate”…
Well, that’s all over.
Now we’re going to get free college for imbeciles, more government involvement in healthcare, higher taxes (on day one they promised), massive bailouts of blue states, crushing regulations, renewed Paris climate agreement, massive funding of Iran and Palestinians, and more.
He is a winner.
Faith can move mountains, can it not?
Only via cheating and a 24-7 propaganda machine. I want to dislike people that continue to fall for it and be led around by liars, but they are only human.
I will be defiant until the end*.
*Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
It’s going to be a peaceful transition and 4 years of bliss and harmony.
Let me get it started. Not my president, fuck off! Viva la resistance motherfuckers! Welcome to hell!
How about no.

So fucking goofy. There’s delicious cows and pigs and chickens every fucking where. We have plenty to eat. I ain’t eating magic space people meat.
Apparently it’s performance art protesting “lab meat”. Or something. I don’t understand how such people think.
That would be the only way this makes sense to me.
I wasn’t expecting 2020 to go Omega Man on us

Apropos of nothing in particular, two versions of Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing.”
First, Frog Leap Studios’ version (with Mary Spender), and yeah, I know this has been posted here before, ’cause drugs just fell out of my ass, but it’s a lot of fun:

Second, contrast the above with this version, single acoustic guitar, by the lovely and talented Gabriella Quevedo:

Wow.
Love that song. Will listen forthwith.

Today in “screw covid” news:
Ft. Lauderdale air show was well attended… many, many thousands at the beach to watch our best fighter jets fly up and down the beach in a very loud and stylish manner. Families as far as the eye can see.
We had a wonderful time. The kids are finally old enough that we don’t have to hover… the boy is middle school and attracted a large contingent of middle school girls to skimboard with him.
And there was a noted absence of people haranguing about masks. Nobody really mentioned it except a few of us joked about it.
So a great day at the beach.
And the F-22 on afterburners is pretty awesome in a humid air environment doing a high g turn and making water vapor condense instantly off of the wings.
My brother used to go to that and to the Wisconsin one back the eighties. I never made one, but they sound really fun.
Word.

Buddy was the friendly one.
Awwwwwww, thanks! I was thinking of that movie when I was writing Cods & Cuntes.
Crows are quite smart for birds. They can learn to talk like a parrot and they are free marketeers…they pay their way. I like crows
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBQf15c23-g
I still hate ’em. And Buddy was the only one who didn’t try to peck Tippi’s eyes out.
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I BEG OF YOU! SHUT UPPP!
Crows are very smart. I like hunting them in late August to help get my shooting eye ready for grouse and pheasants.
I respect crows, but they do too much damage to crops and other birds for me to like them. Farmers who won’t let you on their land to hunt for any other creature will fall all over themselves to let you shoot crows.
Really? The ones around here gave up on crops decades ago and subsist almost entirely on road kill. Corn is safe around here….except for the antlered, flightless kind of crow. They can do some damage.
Out of my deep munificence for all of God’s creatures, I shall be providing free doses of naloxone for any unfortunate copium addicts.
Why get up?
Huh. I didn’t know Ron Jeremy had such a good voice.
Never noticed before, but thanks. Prolly can’t unthink that again.
Here, have a heroin song.
And another.
A little more won’t hurt.

It’s not a habit it’s cool.
Usually KDW is on the other side of the communication-signaling line. This one, while not entirely lacking for substance, is rather heavy on the signaling.
Bitterly clinging to normalcy in an era where there is none. The whole year has been a surrender to mendacity. Unbelievably so.
Moar propaganda.
President-elect Joe Biden’s margin of victory over President Donald Trump surpassed 6 million votes on Friday, as ballots continue to be counted across the nation.
Trump has refused to accept defeat in the 2020 election, despite Biden’s decisive win in the Electoral College and the popular vote. The former vice president has won nearly 80 million votes, which is more votes than any US presidential candidate in history by a considerable margin. Trump has received nearly 74 million votes.
I didn’t know there were millions of electors and/or zero regard for state boundaries in the republic of these States united…
Did the words “unfounded” and “unsubstantiated” exist back when a guy name Kavanaugh was being subjected to so-called credible claims?
Why even hold the Electoral College at this point, since apparently Biden has already won something that hasn’t even happened yet?
Allow me the fantasy of hundreds of low/mid level bureaucrats and mendacious talking heads getting tried for sedition.
ballots continue to be counted across the nation
How long ago was the election?
And they wonder why so many people distrust the results.
Cunte.
Brooks said that while the military “probably wants to stay in a little too long.” He is “really struck by how the military leaders, especially the former militaries, the retireds, have really reacted with apoplexy to the way we’re withdrawing. And we’re going to get out, but they really think there’s no military justification, pure politics, and destructive effects in Afghanistan to get out. And for all the young men and women who served there over these many, many years, if we stay in a couple of more months, and leave a lasting legacy they can be proud of, that certainly is worth it. And so, what you see from Trump is what seems to be just pure politics, so he can brag.”
What will be different in a few months I wonder…
If we stick around long enough, we too can get our Dien Bien Phu.
Brooks is an institutional POS.
The retired generals, besides the ones making bank off of their post retirement defense industry jobs (which is almost all of them), desperately do not want the song to end, and even more on a down note. Once it’s over, then the reflection and examination will start and the cold light of the sun will be shined on the role that they played in the fuckup.
I can’t imagine being that shameless.
WAR! What is good for? My career! Good god ya’ll! Say it again…
Twenty years and a trillion dollars. Nothing has changed in the ME aside from even more violence and instability, so I wonder where all of that money went?
Of course they threw a shit-fit when Trump tried to shut the grift down. What I dont understand is all of the TDS from people who have no skin in the game at all. The press I get….the swamp I get…but average Joe going around frothing at the mouth? What the hell is that? Trained seals barking and clapping on command I suppose
I really, really hate this. If Brooks thinks it is so important to be there, perhaps he should go plant his fat ass on the base. If you think it is that important to have a presence there, show your depth of feeling by relocating there.
When I was in Iraq, we were doing a project looking at base security. Went to a small base right on the edge of Sadr City in Baghdad. Talking with some of the soldiers stationed there, we found out that they really weren’t doing much, not going out on patrols, not working with the Iraqis. Just hanging out on the base, waiting for it to be closed down about 3 weeks later. A few days after I left the base, they were hit by incendiary mortars, and six soldiers, including a couple of the ones I met, were killed. Six soldiers killed for nothing – the base was closing in a couple weeks. They were only there as targets. Just like the service members we’ve had in Afghanistan for the past decade. We could be there for a thousand more and we won’t make a damn bit of difference.

The Macedonians, British, Germans, French and Russians agree.
This makes me so fucking pissed.
I was just listening to Dan Carlin’s latest episode on the Pacific war and he was reading something written by a squad leader about how hard it was to send your squad out into danger because some asshole general thousands of miles away had given dumb orders. The squad leader ended by stating something like “you can be damn sure that that general had never been out in the field”.
For Chafed, latest in your favorite slow motion train wreck

Slow motion?
It hasn’t ended yet.
Uffda. DEFUND THE POLICE!!! But then who will write the tickets for the Great Crawl Forward? The new speed limit on all Minneapolis/St. Paul streets is being lowered to 20mph.
Why not ban walking and biking on streets. And we are going to inconvenience the fuck out of everyone to save 5 lives per year? I guess bad risk assessment isn’t just for the Rona freaks.
The Zero Vision campaign has infected cities all over. Nearby town has fallen for it as well. Same city that made a permanent memorial to a retard cyclist that cut in and turned right front of a car.
Speaking of idiot cyclists. After years of encouraging them not to follow traffic laws, the city stole a traffic lane for a dedicated bike way with its own slot in the traffic timing. Guess who still doesn’t wait for the lights?
Dont kid yourself. They dont give a shit about crash victims. They desperately want to deprive you of the autonomy and liberty that automobiles give the individual. That is all this is about.
I only wish that the people pushing this crap were truly that cynical/evil.
These are the same people who think the police department should actually be defunded. They are True Believers who think that people really do want to bike or walk everywhere. Even in winter. Just like they believe that if the racist police weren’t always shooting and killing everyone people would magically all get along.
They are completely irrational. They have been coddled their entire lives and have no concept of what the consequences of their ideas will be.
There is definitely a contingent that is that evil. They are the same ones that want to round up all of the suburbanites and rural people and cram them into soviet style apartment complexes…the ones openly trying to ban single-family homes. They desperately want to control every aspect of our lives. With an automobile you can go where. you like, when you like and they cant bear that.
Remember, Creepy Joe is going to get rid of fossil fuels altogether.
Yeah, they’re trying to do the same thing here in Edmonton.
So, the wheels are coming off the Giuliani/Powell jalopy? I really thought Powell was a serious lawyer, with what was exposed when she took over the Flynn defense.
That Florida bit has got to be particularly galling.
Did they grab a random unit from a contested district, or one provided by dominion for examination?
The point of dominion machines is that one CAN alter the outcome, not that one did. Guns don’t kill people and machines don’t alter votes. I’m convinced that California held off because the White House was the prize. Ain’t nobody telling me Cali elections aren’t rigged. Since when do we listen to intelligence agencies proclaiming that government is on the up and up? I’m gonna wait and see what the legal team comes up with.
That Florida bit has got to be particularly galling.
“Red mirage”…
They didn’t need Ohio or Florida.
“…found no vulnerabilities, no backdoors, no evidence of a secret way to alter the votes.”
The machines and software were designed specifically with that in mind. I heard an interview with a computer geek just days ago where he managed to hack into a Dominion machine in a matter of minutes and change all of the votes in the machine. He claimed all he needed was a screwdriver.
Why come no one is saying this? https://www.sgtreport.com/2020/11/nancy-pelosi-dianne-feinstein-both-financially-tied-to-dominion-voting-systems/
Also, Democrats were against these voting machines before they were for them.
Linky no worky for me, Juris.
